The Feelings Journal & Feelings Wheel

A free, interactive journal designed to help you feel your feelings then feel better. Investigate, process and soothe challenging emotions like fear, sadness, anger, and insecurity.

So many of us feel burdened, overwhelmed, or put out by our emotions. It’s natural to want to move away from things that feel “bad”, and we have lots of reasons to justify this disconnect.

  • We don’t have the time to feel our feelings

  • We don’t have the energy to feel our feelings

  • We don’t know how to feel our feelings

But when we avoid our feelings, we lose access to the important functions they serve. Meant to deliver a message or spur us into necessary action, emotions can help us know and trust ourselves, connect and motivate us, and assist in finding meaning and making sense of the world.

It’s time to make friends with your feelings. For real. 

 

We recommend you download and open the journal in your favorite PDF viewer in order to get the best interactive experience! Of course, you can also print and write by hand if that’s more your style.

Welcome to the Feelings Journal

No more stuffing, judging, or ignoring our emotions. It’s time to feel our feelings. And feel better.

How to use the Feelings Journal

For each emotion we’ll highlight:

  • The different “shades” of the emotion

  • What the emotion may feel like in the body

  • What the emotion might be trying to tell you

  • How to move through, and ease, the emotion

Each chapter ends with an exploration of your own experience, beliefs, and stories around the feeling, which will allow you to gain more clarity around your emotional experience and raise your EQ in the process.
